The Poplars Rooms & Cottages

Amanda & Richard and their lovely family treated us to an amazing 2 day stay, with the comfiest of rooms (especially the king size bed), delicious breakfasts (the black pudding is the best), and wonderful friendly hospitality. So close to Thirsk and the convenient train station, and yet within a stones throw of the most beautiful Yorkshire Countryside and amazing pubs & breweries. On our trip we visited the fascinating Druids Temple & Swinton Estate, and tasted the best beers in the UK at Theakston's Brewery in Massam & The George at Wath. Amanda & Richard take great pride in Yorkshire making sure food is sourced locally & recommending excellent places to visit. They do everything they can to make sure your trip is memorable and, most importantly, that you feel at home. We will definitely return.

We stayed in the Bed & Breakfast rooms for a 2-night stay. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left Amanda was a brilliant host making us all welcome. The rooms were spotless, the bed was comfy, and the bathroom was modern and clean with a power shower. The breakfast was amazing. There is free Wi-Fi and a bonus of off-street private parking. We could not fault the accommodation at all and will certainly be returning. Thirsk town centre is a typical market town. Fish and chips from White Rose Cafe were delicious. The only problem we had was with the taxi service. It was abysmal. After trying unsuccessfully to get through to 4 numbers we finally got through to "Ron's Taxis: This man was fantastic and sorted us with taxis to and from our visit to Thirsk racecourse the following day. I would definitely recommend the Poplars. It was amazing.

We stayed here in Ryedale room for 3 nights. The location was great & our room was lovely, clean, spacious & quiet. Our room had its own private entrance. Amanda is a wonderful cook - we had a full Yorkshire breakfast which was absolutely delicious!
